the weather : Most liked Posts

I hate it, I would rather have no summer and 6 months of autumn

I'm one of those weirdos who'd rather twelve months of winter than twelve months of summer.

It's awful. Just lots of humidity, stickiness and sweating. Who even likes this weather? Haha

I’ve decided I prefer to be cold! Hot weather you can go now thanks snuggling in a blanket, hot drinks and stews now please. Thank you for listening…. Now make it COLD!!!

I don't like that feeling of not feeling fresh. Anything over 22 is just too sweaty betty for me.

I hate having to wear cooler clothes because I look like a fat mess much more easier in winter when I can hide in baggy clothes

I have a job interview at 15:30 They contacted me yesterday and said we could do it by Teams instead of me attending the office.
I'm tempted to wear a nice blouse on the top half as that will be on screen but just my knickers on the bottom half.

I also hate how it never really gets dark, so I’m lying in my bed at 11pm trying to get to sleep feeling sweaty and irritated and it’s also bright outside, then I eventually get to sleep but wake up around 4am and it’s still bright outside

I would probably like it more if I wasn’t too fat for nice summer clothes

Does it stress anyone else out all these people who simply cannot grasp that late 30s temps in the uk just aren’t the same as abroad? Our country is built for keeping heat in, plus air con is rare and pools almost non existent. People are deliberately obtuse about this on purpose I swear!

I worry for all the animals in this heat

It’s the pick up I’m dreading. It’s uphill, I’m fat and don’t cope with heat well. I’ll resemble daddy pig doing his fun run

I put my pillowcases in the freezer and was looking forward to bedtime and having nice cool sheets but they just smell like chicken nuggets and are giving me brain freeze

I swear if I see one more comment about how we are whiners and people abroad manage I will scream!

Having lived and worked abroad I can tell you houses are built to keep the heat out unlike here, infrastructure is different, more heat resistant materials are used and we are not going to rip up runways for possibly a few days heat. Locals live and adapt to the heat (siestas, late meals etc) schools are already out, most locals move inland over the peak months when the heat on the coast is extreme. It takes weeks for your body to acclimatize, I remember being by a pool working wearing a jumper feeling chilly whilst holiday makers were sunbathing in October This isn’t like when we go on holiday and we have a cool pool to dip in, drinks to hand, no work, no school, no chores.

I’ve kept my child home today, kids fainted at their school yesterday, I’m sat in my home office all day working - it’s already 30.c in here and I feel sick so there’s no way I’m making them endure the same in a shoddy built 70’s era school to prove a point.

This isn’t a British summer, the weather we have coming up after this is what we are as a country are used to. This isn’t Spain, Greece or Italy. We’re a tiny island in the North Sea which should be wet and lush whether we like it or not. And Europe isn’t having a great time of it in the heat either with all the fires

The part of me that does things just for shits and giggles is considering bookmarking this thread to post it in the inevitable thread moaning about the five feet of snow in January.

In the words of William Shakespeare*

”Fuckin’ hell it’s hot”

I’ve got the windows shut, shades on the windows and the fan on. This is probably me right now.

same, but also like this

There is definitely two types of people in this heat. My neighbours are sat outside in the garden behaving like they're on holiday. Then there's me and hubby shut in a room with the curtains closed, fans on the go and a mobile AC unit blasting away

1. The constant need to change outfits because it’s too hot to wear jeans but you’re too wobbly to wear shorts.
2. Cannot find a flattering length of shorts anywhere
3. The constant need for suncream
4. The constant need to lather up the kids with suncream
5. Kids moaning about being sticky because of said suncream
6. Kids moaning they’re hot
7. Reminding kids to wear a hat
8. Reminding kids (and other half) to take a water bottle out
9. Questioning whether you actually just stay in because it’s too hot to venture out
10. The roasting hot house
11. The annual argument with the other half about leaving windows open (“but we’ll get robbed” )

And I’m generally a positive person!

Let’s just leave it at 18-20 degrees shall we? And every other day chuck a bit of a breeze in there so the house can cool down. That would be perfect!

I've found my people! I hate hot weather, my ideal outside temperature is around 5 so being the 27+ for multiple days in a row is horrible. My asthma flares up in heat, all clothing feels too sticky and I can barely sleep.

Every other person in the small company I work for hates cold weather and loves summer and keep talking about how gorgeous the weather is and I just don't get it. I could understand enjoying a slightly warm 10-12c but not this!
